Goose Creek - Berkeley County police pulled over a light colored van in a routine traffic stop near Meyers Road and Highway 1-76 around 6 p.m. The van with Florida tags was driven by two men of Middle Eastern descent. Inside the vehicle police found explosives.

Alphabet agencies on the scene.

[Heartland Mom]

I am shocked the perps were described as being of ME descent. (Meaning I am not shocked that they were of ME descent, only that the news would come out and say it.)

[Milwaukee_Guy]

“According to Lt. Vince Lombardo, deputies discovered the suspicious items in the trunk during a traffic stop. The two men inside the vehicle are detained at the scene. Lombardo also said information from an investigation in another jurisdiction raised the suspicions of the deputies.”

Oh snot!

I bet you won’t see much mention of ME if this story goes national.

[Global2010]

Is that a pic from a news media or a person who clicked it and sent it in to the news media?

[AprilfromTexas]

I believe it’s the power of prayer.

[Global2010]

You too?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Maybe our guys knew who they were and what they were up to and were looking for a reason to pull them over. Can’t afford a judge tossing out a search based on FISA can we?

[TrueKnightGalahad]

Geez, just a couple of nice innocent guys out to visit Grammy with a bundle of goodies! Nothing to see here, move along. I wonder when the ACLU will step in with accusations of profiling, and claims of violations of rights during the investigation?

It was on the ABC News 4 site. Not credited.

[Milwaukee_Guy]

Suspect vehicle had Florida plates.

I have a weird feeling about Monday.

Are we seeing a run up to something?

[DrGunsforHands]

Definitely...work.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

"...ME descent..."

Shantel Middleton report immediately for sensitivity training and remedial PC indoctrination.

[dfwgator]

Watch CAIR condemn the seizure because the cops were profiling.

[CremeSaver]

I was just reading about the British police following a van and when they approached it it blew up. Five officers were injured and the drivers killed. Coincidence?

[cmsgop]

When?

Sounds like it was good police work and co-operation between agencies.

What’s the deal with the Keystone Kops picture? Sounds like excellent police work to me.

I have a weird feeling about Monday.

I'm hoping for a calm day. Both I and my son have Aug 6 birthdays. This coming Monday will be his 21st. His dad and I intend to be the first to take him out for his first legal "brew."

In a MSNBC article they have a story about Violence against border agents .They are not to chase the drug peddlers and thugs, they have to run when the rocks and chunks of concrete thrown by thugs start hitting them upside the head .

In some cases they have had their nuke pagers go off and were told by their supervisors “not to give chase “. A van was going by when the nuke pagers went off .They said they don’t want the agents to give chase because they or the ‘illegals ‘ may get hurt . What are they there for, just to watch the illegals go by ? Maybe to see how many nukes they can drag in ?

do you have a link?

Don’t see a van in the picture,

and the suburban or a van would not have a trunk.

[noamnasty]

No I am not good with computer, but I know how to use search engines. I just put in “US Border agents, nuke pagers “ . And it was the first site that came up . MSNBC article .

[no-to-illegals]

Does the article mention nuke pagers going off?

[noamnasty]

Yes it does mention them going off . Did you go to the site ?

[no-to-illegals]

my apology I haven’t found it yet....

>>>>Just wondering why we get so damned lucky on these things!

It’s not luck. They just don’t want to burn a snitch.

[noamnasty]

A snitch ? I hope they don’t want to burn us either .

[no-to-illegals]

everything I saw was 2004, 2005...nothing recent.
Was there something more recent, of which you typed?

[noamnasty]

i will go back and see .

[Global2010]

[processing please hold]

Is this it?

Some agents complained that they are rarely allowed to pursue illegal immigrants, regardless of the situation.

“If anyone runs from us, we don’t chase them,” said one California-based border patrol agent who requested anonymity. “We could have information that there is a nuke in the back of a van but we don’t have authority to chase them,” the agent said. “We’ve had radiation pagers go off and we’re still not allowed [by our supervisors] to give chase,” he said. “They are scared to death something will go wrong and there will be a huge liability.”

[noamnasty]

I just back to search and looked at article and saw no dates on the heading at all. , “ Violence Against border Agents At Record Pace “ is name of article .
